Harborne has given Reform £36 million to match Delo's £36 million. The Telegraph describes it as a "show of force" from Reform's donors. The two men's £72 million is greater than all of the spending by all political parties on the 2024 GE www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

BBC News - Police appeal to woman after Reform UK audience incident - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The Reform Party are quite within their rights to eject people they regard as disruptive, their members are not entitled to assault those people and those involved should be facing charges.

A brief note for Nadhim Zahawi.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

An absolute banger of an exclusive from the Sunday Times. It's devastating. For the first time, I'm uncertain if Farage can actually survive this www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Nigel Farage is a demagogue who has little regard for facts or the truth. Journalists covering him have no such excuse app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73749/...

Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

"Reform UK says it has no plans to investigate its candidate for the Makerfield by-election." And why is that?🤔 https://www.itv.com/news/2026-05-22/reform-uk-backs-by-election-candidate-accused-of-posting-offensive-comments

🚨 "First question, have things got worse? The answer by most economists consensus is yes." 📉 "Since the Brexit vote there have been various independent assessments, all of them showing a negative impact on GDP."

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

He admitted that they were AP photos minutes later, but the damage was already done. On what basis did you decide to refer to them as “govt propaganda” and “fake news” while ardently urging the public not to trust them, Sam? None? Oh that’s fine then. Just broadcasting to MILLIONS of people.

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne? We can hear your strings being pulled.

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker. Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”. He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was handed a suspended sentence. It comes up when you Google him. He won in the council election. A vicious domestic abuser is now a Reform Councillor.

It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! Bird migration is one of nature’s greatest wonders... Epic journeys across oceans, deserts and continents, guided by instinct and the pull of the seasons. Meet three extraordinary travellers spending summer in the UK… 👇

THE ECHR PROTECTS US ALL The rights within it are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice, why victims of abuse can seek safety and why disabled people are treated with dignity in care. WE MUST PROTECT IT, NOT LEAVE IT

Robert Peston talks to Stanford Professor Nick Bloom about the cost of Brexit on The Rest is Money: 🚨 "We could have doubled the money on the NHS if we'd not left the European Union." Brexit cost "£2,000 a year per person in Britain." Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yn3AQaNVDg

I think a journalist outside the BBC should ask for an interview with the BBC and with Ana Gonzales on this. Going through each segment in the programme, stopping, then asking both Ana Gonzales and the BBC to comment. Maybe a programme about how journalism shapes - or miss-shapes voter opinions.

The big divide in Britain today is between working people and the privately educated, rich, greedy, tax-dodging, selfish, grifting gobshites who try to manipulate working people by pretending to give a shit about them.

Reform voted against the improvements to workers’ rights in the Employment Rights Act and they plan to scrap the Equality Act and lower the National Minimum Wage. Are they hell on the side of working people. Rich people maybe. Working people, definitely not.

"Nigel Farage reported to Parliament over alleged ‘undeclared donations’" “... Nigel Farage [enjoyed] a range of hospitality & logistics support from US PR firm, CapitalHQ, [Feb 2023 to 25] Mr Farage has not declared any .. on his register of interests" www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/nig...

Today marks a year since the Supreme Court decision. We now know a revised version of the draft statutory guidance is due in May. We need to act fast to make sure it explains how trans people can still be included. Write to your MP to tell them what they need to do, using our quick and easy tool 👇

For the second day, the person engaging in the unlawful practice is not a lawyer or an immigration advisor. Yet this nuance is totally absent from the framing. For the second day, the specific example on which the article is based makes un-evidencrd links to rising claims. It's deplorable.

“Angela Rayner ‘dodged’ paying the correct amount of tax. Her position is morally indefensible. If she had any integrity, any moral decency she would resign.” (Dick Tice, Reform Ltd)

Among Reform UK’s biggest donors is the Crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who was handed a fawning spread in the Telegraph this week to explain why he is giving £4m to the party. What is buried in the piece that Delo is a convicted criminal who pled guilty to violating money laundering law in the US

Please read this, understand what the govt is doing & take action. Labour's immigration proposals swap integration for segregation, introduce a Dubai-style Kafala system of coercive employer control & drive low-income families into poverty. They're an abomination. open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

LONDON #NoKings

👏 Luke Murphy MP: "Those who actively oppose the transition to clean energy, such as Reform, prefer instead to expose every family, every business and community in Britain to the boot of the fossil fuel dictator stamping on their neck forever."

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I would say this needs covering

Nobody can ever accuse Richard Tice of not loving his money!!... I mean his country... sorry... his country www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Is there anything Reform UK politicians won’t u-turn on? Here’s Offord’s maiden speech about the importance of Net Zero when he was made a lord for services to donating money to the Tories: www.gov.uk/government/n... It was only 3 years ago.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Man of the people backed by crypto billionaire? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/08/private-jet-used-for-nigel-farage-chagos-stunt-linked-to-reform-mega-donor

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My much requested deep-dive into the latest immigration statistics begins!! Part 1: What is the gender & age breakdown of asylum seekers?

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!) These are not serious people or good faith actors.

RT if the USA should take Tommy Robinson. He is a violent criminal scumbag we don't want him and the USA seems to be collecting people like that.

Nigel Farage lashes out at a FT journalist and refuses to answer the question. Is this how Reform UK would ignore media questions if they got into government?

Johnson, Gove, Rees-Mogg, and possibly David Davis were plotting with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and white supremacist Steve Bannon to bring down a British Prime Minister. Why this treason isn’t front-page news is a disgrace for the journalistic profession in the UK.

This says everything we need to know about Reform Uk's view on women. Completely unacceptable. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/13/reform-matt-goodwin-fertility-comments-outcry-handmaids-tale

If you’re preparing to interview a known liar, the very least you could do is swot up on the very stuff he is most likely to tell lies about.
